On April 1st, I made the initial blog post: Click Here For That
In summary, we started tracking weigh-in weights, and I wanted to see if the heavier fighters won more often than lighter fighters. Using the same ideals as before, with a much larger data set:
- In 506 non-draw official fights where both fighters weighed in at different weights, but above 210 (our Light Heavyweight limit), 259 were won by the lighter fighter, and 247 won by the heavier fighter (48.9%).
- When you allow for mismatches and include matches in which only one fighter had to weigh above 210, the total tally increases to 642 and the gap widens, with the heavier fighter only winning 302 (47.0%).
- For the record, across the board, the heavier fighter has won 52.4% of the time.
The results are nearly identical as before, though the heavier fighter gained ground in all three statistics. There are a few possibilities to explain this and it could be a combination: Keep Reading
